About Make My Desk Organizer (MakerLab)
Make My Desk Organizer is one of the official MakerLab tools on MakerWorld, the model site run by Bambu Lab. It builds parametric trays with a cell-by-cell layout, so you decide how many compartments an organizer has and how they are arranged, rather than editing someone else's model.
Community designs made with it show the range: hexagon clusters with compartments of different sizes for pens and small parts, flower-shaped pen holders and simple trays for a desk drawer. Designs can be published on MakerWorld for others to print or remix, and they come out as print-ready projects for Bambu Studio.
The tool is free but needs a MakerWorld login, and it is clearly aimed at Bambu Lab users, although the printed result works on any printer that can handle the file. It suits beginners who want a personal desk organizer without learning a grid system such as Gridfinity.

What you'll need to print it
Materials and parts that give the best results with Make My Desk Organizer (MakerLab).
Matte PLA for signs and Gridfinity
Matte filament hides layer lines and cuts glare, so raised lettering on signs and nameplates stays readable from any angle and a drawer full of bins looks uniform.
- Bambu Lab PLA MatteWide colour range with AMS-ready RFID, ideal for multi-colour signs.
- Polymaker Panchroma Matte PLA (formerly PolyTerra)The former PolyTerra line under a new name: soft matte look and good value for printing Gridfinity in bulk.
- SUNLU Matte PLALow-cost matte option for large batches of bins and baseplates.
PETG for functional and outdoor prints
PETG handles heat, sunlight and repeated flexing better than PLA, so Gridfinity bins in a hot garage or signs mounted outdoors keep their shape.
- Bambu Lab PETG BasicUpgraded formula that Bambu says matches PLA Basic for strength while staying impact-tough; low price per spool in multi-roll bundles.
- Polymaker PETGHigh-flow replacement for PolyLite PETG: strong, low-odour and quick to print.
- Overture High Speed PETGGood-value PETG in a large colour range for functional parts in bulk.
6 x 2 mm magnets for Gridfinity
Gridfinity baseplates and bins are designed around 6 x 2 mm disc magnets pressed into the corners; they hold bins in place but still let you lift one out with one hand.
- Bambu Lab Round Magnet D6x2 mm (20 pcs)Exactly the Gridfinity size, sold in 20-packs, rated to 80 C.
- 6 x 2 mm N52 neodymium disc magnets (bulk pack)Buy 100+ for full baseplates; check the listing really says 6 x 2 mm, as 3 mm-thick magnets will not sit flush.
